It’s difficult to be in “top form” with respiratory allergies! They affect sleep, which causes drowsiness during the day and problems with concentration. By reducing work performance, they have a significant negative impact on productivity 2. Respiratory allergies are the leading cause of lost working days in Europe!3

A recent study4 has shown that severe allergic rhinitis represents a burden comparable to that of illnesses such as hepatitis C, migraines or diabetes.
